The evolution of life history traits is regulated by energy expenditure, which is, in turn, governed by temperature.The forecasted increase in temperature variability is expected to impose greater stress to organisms, in turn influencing the balance of energy expenditure and consequently life history responses.Here we examine how increased temperat
In cellular reprogramming, almost all epigenetic memories of differentiated cells are erased by the overexpression of a few genes, Face resulting in regaining pluripotency, the potential for differentiation.Considering the interplay between oscillatory gene expression and slower epigenetic modifications, such reprogramming is perceived as an unintu
